‘Abandon Harris’ group endorses Jill Stein, bringing doubt to Michigan turnout

A progressive political group, known as “Abandon Harris,” has formally endorsed Green Party candidate Jill Stein. The endorsement signaled a shift away from the Democratic Party ahead of the 2024 election.

The move comes as growing discontent among the party’s left-wing base threatens to undermine Democratic efforts to secure key swing states, particularly Michigan, where the race is expected to be tight.

The group’s endorsement of Stein, who previously ran for president in 2012 and 2016, is a clear message of frustration with Vice President Kamala Harris and the broader Biden-Harris administration.

A poll conducted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations shows that 40% of Muslim voters in Michigan now support Stein, a marked departure from the party’s previous base of support. In contrast, both Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump trail significantly behind, receiving just 12% and 18% of the Muslim vote, respectively.

This shift highlights the potential electoral impact of Stein’s candidacy in a state that was pivotal in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.

Trump, who has consistently aligned himself with Israel throughout his 2024 campaign, has also alienated many voters in this demographic, further complicating the race.

Stein, a Jewish progressive with longstanding anti-Israel sympathies, has built her political brand on advocating for environmental justice, universal health care, and economic reform. Her previous presidential runs have earned her a loyal following among progressives, but she is no stranger to controversy.

In both 2012 and 2016, Stein was accused by some Democrats of being a “spoiler candidate,” with critics arguing that her campaigns siphoned votes away from Democratic candidates and ultimately contributed to Republican victories.

In 2016, her presence on the ballot in key swing states such as Michigan was seen as a factor in Trump’s narrow win, as his victory margin was smaller than the total number of votes Stein received.

With Michigan once again poised to be a crucial factor in determining the next president, the endorsement from Abandon Harris could signal a larger movement among disaffected progressives, potentially altering the course of the election.

If Stein’s support grows, her candidacy could tip the balance in favor of Republicans, echoing the dynamics of the 2016 election.
